Tub To Shower Conversion
Bates St, Athens, AL , 35611

Name: Five Star Bath Solutions
Brand: Five Star Bath Solutions
Rating: 5 (103 reviews)

Customer, Robert, requested their tub be replaced with a walk-in shower to improve function, access, and overall maintenance. The prior setup had become inconvenient and cluttered, prompting a desire for a modern, safer solution. Instead of the originally requested golden-beige wall panels, the final installation features a light marble-pattern composite surface throughout. A curtain rod was installed in place of the planned barn-style glass door. While oil-rubbed bronze fixtures were preferred, the installed finish is chrome, and no bench seat, grab bar, or recessed niche was included. Two corner shelves were installed on the valve wall to meet basic storage needs. The result is a simplified configuration that retains visual openness and eliminates grout and buildup.

Details of the Tub To Shower Conversion near Bates St, Athens, AL , 35611:

Carlson Reissiger presented the Smart Choice composite shower system, highlighting its realistic stone appearance, antimicrobial properties, and non-porous surface. He explained that their material eliminates the need for grout, won't harbor mold or mildew, and requires no harsh cleaning products. He also described the concrete-like shower pan and proprietary backer board, both of which are critical to the durability and strength of the installation. Carlson emphasized the company's transparent pricing, noting that once a price is agreed upon, it won’t change—even if damage is discovered during demolition.

The installation process includes full demolition to the studs, inspection for mold or wood rot, and a complete rebuild with new Delta plumbing. Carlson estimated the job would take two days and shared that Stuart, a technician, would follow up with precise measurements early the next week. Protective runners would be used to shield flooring during the installation. All accessories, including the grab bar and bench, would be confirmed and placed according to customer preference just before the job begins, ensuring a fully tailored final result.

Five Star Bath Solutions offers a true lifetime warranty on labor, materials, plumbing fixtures, and seals, fully transferable to future homeowners. Carlson explained that the VA grant of up to \$6,900 was highly likely to be reimbursed in full given the customer's 100% VA status. He also applied a 77% installation discount and a 10% military discount, reducing the total cost from over \$15,800 to approximately \$4,000 out-of-pocket. Carlson pledged continued support throughout the process, including preparing CAD drawings and coordinating grant documentation to streamline the reimbursement process.
